Bernie Sanders Took Martin Shkreli's Money And Gave It To An HIV Clinic

In case you need a refresher, he's the guy who bought the rights to a life-saving drug called Daraprim, which is used to fight parasitic infections in at-risk groups, including those with HIV and AIDS.

After purchasing the drug, he immediately jacked up the price per pill by more than 5,000 percent, effectively pricing out low-income patients and hospitals.

While Shkreli appears to have made enemies at nearly every turn, you can officially add one more to his list of foes: Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

Earlier this week, Shkreli made a $2,700 donation to Sanders' presidential campaign. Shkreli reportedly made the donation to Sanders, an outspoken opponent to big pharma, in the hopes of gaining his attention and an in-person meeting.

But there will be no meeting. In fact, the Sanders campaign took Shkreli's money and donated it to Whitman-Walker Health, a Washington, DC-based clinic that specializes in the treatment of HIV patients, according to The Boston Globe.

Michael Briggs, Sanders' campaign spokesman, said,

We are not keeping the money from this poster boy for drug company greed.
